A friend of a colleague of mine (sounds convoluted, but it's accurate) found an iPod touch a little while ago and, after attempts to locate the owner (signs posted around the downtown area where it was found, etc) failed, has decided to lend it to me to try to get it to work. I believe it's a first-generation iPod touch.

EDIT: Crap; I got it to the point of clicking "restore" through iTunes, but after downloading the latest software update that will work on this iPod, it's right back to the original problem - telling me it's passcode locked.
